The condition of the facial skin is something that worries every person. We often wonder how to properly take care of it, especially if there is a tendency to acne. Various drugs for solving such problems are offered to us by pharmacies and cosmetic stores.
But there are remedies available for home preparation: scrubs or masks.
The causes of acne
The skin is affected by various factors that contribute to acne:
- insufficient care;
- hormonal changes;
- some stomach diseases.
Acne is the result of blockages in hair follicles.
Excessive sebum closes the pores and builds up inflammation that bacteria can enter.
The mask will help get rid of acne on the face, as well as improve the structure of the skin, reduce oiliness, and tighten pores.
Aspirin mask: recipes
Aspirin is found in various products that help fight acne. It is also suitable for making masks at home.

Add butter to honey, stir. Then pour out the tablets and mix everything well again. The mixture should not turn out too liquid, so that it does not spread during application.
The mask is applied to the face along the massage lines. Spread it gently over acne spots. After 10 minutes on first use and after 25 to 30 minutes on repeated use, wash your face with water. The skin may seem a little oily to you. Pat your face dry with a towel, the greasy feeling will disappear as it dries. Use a moisturizer at the end.

Perform the procedures once a week. Daily use is acceptable if the mixture is applied pointwise to problem areas.
When using such a mask, it should not be rubbed into the skin of the face, as the aspirin contained in it can cause inflammation. Use a moisturizer after washing.
Aspirin has an exfoliating, tonic and vasodilating effect, as it promotes blood flow. Thanks to it, redness and rashes disappear.
Like any remedy, a mask containing aspirin is not without its drawbacks.
It should not be used:
- during pregnancy;
- when breastfeeding;

As a rule, people who have used these masks note that their skin has tightened, acne, redness and blackheads have disappeared. You will feel the effect after the first application: a smoother complexion, the skin is soft and elastic at the same time.
It must be remembered, no matter how effective the tool is, its too frequent use can lead to the opposite result.
